What does it mean to be equal? Does it mean we are all the same? Does it mean we all have everything? What does it mean?

It means everyone gets an equal part or right of something. For example, equality in government might mean that everyone gets the same amount of voting rights.

To me, it's all about not being the victim of prejudice by authorities, employers, health care providers, etc.

Equity. Everyone gets what they need to succeed!

I agree with Allen. Equality is not everyone being the same; that's the definition, basically, of uniformity. And, clearly, we are not all uniform. It means that everyone is on the same level, always

The actual definition of equality is that everybody gets the exact same privileges. I agree with Allen, what we need is equity, everyone getting what they need, as it differs from person to person.

I agree with a lot of users in this forum.
Equality is not all being the same; all owning everything the other owns. But having the same option to have those things.

I think equality means everyone is seen as being made in the image of God, instead of being persecuted for the way they are (social status, race, religion, etc.). I think there are lots of misconceptions about equality in our culture, though.

What do you think some of those misconceptions are? Could you give some specific examples?

Well, the idea that "equal" means "same," for instance. Some women believe that because they are equal to men, they should be treated exactly as though they are men.
Feb. 15, 2017 at 7:00 pm
What are some ways in which you think women should be treated differently, but equally, as compared to men?

Well, I like the custom of holding the door open for women. It's not saying "You're better than me" or "I'm better than you," either; it's a gesture towards man's role as protector of women. And I think it's lovely. :)

So, judging by what you're saying, you don't believe doors should be held open for men, correct?

If you want equal, shouldn't the door be held open for everyone?
